I haven't spoken to Anne for a few days. The last time I heard from her Wolf had been moved out of CCU back to the stepdown ward that he had been in before where he hadn't done so well. Their son remains in UK at the moment.

I have just seen on Facebook that Limbania's mother has passed away today. Please keep her and her family in your prayers.

Anne, I am praying for you and your husband. I hope he recovers soon. I am praying your son had a safe trip home and also that your daughter is able to keep up her strength too. I know this is hard on everyone. Please take care of yourself. I am sure you are the glue holding all the pieces together. Hugs to you.

Anne, you and your husband are still in my prayers! Having experienced panic attacks, I know how scary they can be! I agree with everyone that you need an occasional diversion. Worry and stress can make a person sick! So, keep yourself well by doing good things for you. It is not selfish, but healthful! We need stress free time to ourselves. And, of course, as a quilter, getting on that machine of yours will probably do the trick!

I'm glad your husband has show some small improvement. Do they serve those small bottles of Boost in the hospital? That's what they gave me when I wouldn't eat. There's a lot of nutrition in a small package. Could help!

Hugs!
Dawn

Sending hugs and prayers your way, Anne. So sorry you and your family are going through this.

Big hugs, prayers and strength for you, your husband and all your family, Anne.
Hope the healing of the ulcers now let's the rest of the body get it's strength back. {{{{{Anne}}}}}

Dear Anne, I am praying for you and all the family. My husband had panic attacks after his heart attack and it was distressing for him and for me to witness, as he is so easy going. Hospital visiting is so very stressful and tiring Anne, so you must remember to be kind to yourself. I agree with Lois, and feel that you should allow yourself some time to enjoy your new machine, without feeling guilt. It may be enough to ease a little of the stress that is on you now. Please look after yourself too Anne.
My love to you and the family Pam

Anne, I'm sorry your husband is still weak. But good to know that he is improving little by little. I'm sending a huge batch of hugs for you. Please take care of you too. Caregivers need care too.

Anne - nice to hear your husband is beginning to eat. I'd say your visiting at lunch time to coax him to eat has helped a lot. Sending good thoughts your way for more good news.
I agree with Lois nice if you can find a little time to play with your new machine.

Anne, you are on my heart - this is such a difficult time and going to the hospital each day can be draining. Don`t forget to do something for your self - even if it is buying a special coffee or taking a bubble bath. Thanks for keeping us posted. Prayers continue.
HUGS!!

Perhaps the healing of the ulcers will be the beginning of some eagerly anticipated improvement. Take care of yourself, Anne. It would be good for you to sit at your machine and do something very, very easy. Hearing the hum of that motor would be such a soothing sound. Just sew some scraps together with no rhyme or reason and create some cloth. Maybe you need a nap more. Do what is best for you. I am sure you need some good rest. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Still thinking of you Anne and hoping things improve and he gains confidence. It must have been so alarming for all of you.

Oh Anne, I'll keep him in my prayers. I'm glad your kids are there with you and will pray for strength for all of you.

My husband is still in hospital.....nearly 5 weeks now. After he was transfered to the step down ward he started to get panic attacks which were awful to see and his health t deteriorated. He was transfered back to CCU and last Wednesday he had a blood transfusion as he was passing blood, they took him to surgery and did an Endoscopy and found 5 small ulcers which had started to heal and no further treatment was needed. The next day when we went in he was actully sitting up and eating which he hasn't done for nearly 2 weeks.
We still don't know if the heart muscle is too badly damaged for him to have a bypass. I have been going to the hospital twice a day.....lunch time mainly to coax him to eat and then again in the evening. My son is still here but may go back to Australia this weekend or beginning of next week. My daughter leaves work early each day to drive the 3 of us to the hospital. They have both been so supportive I don't know how I would have managed without them.
I haven't been able to do any sewing on my new machine and am longing to get back to it.
Anne
